People have started to act as if they are perpetually on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, or Instagram, places that have trained all of us to think our opinions are urgently needed at all times.

Can we stop pretending like it’s difficult to exit Vim?

Really the dumbest trope. Exiting vim is easy.

This is your periodic reminder that (a) “female” is an adjective and (b) the noun for “female human” is “woman”

The thing that I found most valuable - and most generally underrated - from learning TDD 5 years into my career is the art of developing by making lots of small, targeted commits that each deliver an increment but leave the codebase deployable. Multiple commits per day.

What are some “tech” things (usually practices) where when you’ve “seen them, you can’t un-see them”? For me: * Test-driven development * Usability testing * Trunk-based development * High-quality alerting * Event-based monitoring * Probably also FP

Same with automated testing prior to deployment. This is a good thing though. Those hard problems were always there, you just never had time to look for them due to all the simpler issues taking up all your time.

it's a bit counterintuitive, but the better-instrumented and the more mature your systems are, the fewer problems you'll find with automated alerting and the more you'll have to find by sifting around in production by hand. twitter.com/arclight/statu…

I'm reminded of Clifford Stoll's "The Cuckoo's Egg" where he detected severe security vulnerabilities based on a monthly $0.25 accounting discrepancy that had no good explanation. Systems weren't falling over, nothing was tripping an alert but the system was subtly off-normal

I have a lot of thoughts on this. Perhaps unsurprisingly. People’s reactions when they realize I’m a complete and complex human and not this flat horcrux of myself is… telling.

Honestly this is one of the things that keeps me from being social. Plus, I worry about being uninteresting as well as finding others uninteresting! I miss connection and hugs though.

It’s interesting because people keep saying, “I can’t wait for things to get back to normal” and I have fundamentally changed through this experience. What’s normal?

I’m interested in how COVID has affected us socially because I don’t know about y’all but I have 0 social stamina I miss people, but I also don’t want to see or talk to anyone & if I do then I can only be genuinely interested for about 20 mins before I start looking for the exit
